show that the product is within the warranty period. When you return a product
to a VIZIO service center, you must ship the product in its original packaging or
in packaging that affords an equal degree of protection. VIZIO Technical Support
will provide instructions for packing and shipping the product to the VIZIO
service center. ALL USER DATA AND DOWNLOADED APPLICATIONS STORED

not available. All other VIZIO products must be sent to a VIZIO service center to

What to Do If You Are Not Satisfied With Service
If you feel VIZIO has not met its obligations under this warranty, you may
attempt to resolve the issue informally with VIZIO. If you are unable to resolve
the issue informally and wish to file a formal claim against VIZIO, and if you are a
resident of the United States, you must submit your claim to binding arbitration
according to the procedures described below, unless an exception applies.
Submitting a claim to binding arbitration means that you do not have the right
to have your claim heard by a judge or jury. Instead your claim will be heard by a
neutral arbitrator.
Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)
UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS
COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY
OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT, INCLUDING
ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS

ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION
ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED
BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY
PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES . You may learn more
about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by
visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800­778­7879. Since this warranty concerns a
transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act
will apply.
The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and
VIZIO, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the
American Arbitration Association, at which point VIZIO will cover all additional
administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys'
fees in connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the
prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer­Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys'
fees as the arbitrator may determine.
The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which
you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place
of arbitration will be Irvine, California, or your county of residence (if in the
United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other
damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except
as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential
damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include
no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction
